Lyrics
Mistakes Like Me
Melody Guy Tom Kimmel
I can feel colors
And make things with my hands
I can hear music
When no one else can
And I could tell stories
You would not believe
If only somebody
Could listen to me
chorus So what are my chances of turning out right?
And what kind of man will I be?
If I?ll never fit in this world as I am
What do they do with mistakes like me?
They say I?m crazy
They say I?m slow
I hear their whispers
Wherever I go
I know I?m not like
Anybody they?ve seen
So they call me special
That?s not what they mean
chorus And what are my chances of turning out right?
What kind of man will I be?
If I?ll never fit in this world as I am
What do they do with mistakes like me?
bridge So maybe I?m different
Maybe I?m strange
What does it matter
If that?s just how I came?
And who should decide
Who gets by on this earth?
Who gets to measure
What somebody?s worth?
(solo)
chorus What are my chances of turning out right?
And what kind of man will I be?
If I?ll never fit in this world as I am
What do they do with mistakes like me?
If I?ll never fit in this world as I am
What do they do with mistakes like me?
